I like him a lot, especially in TDKR and Mad Max but:

They don't really purr they snarl and crackle like the biggest Harley ever.
I could have sworn a character said they did or something to that effect.
It occurred to me that I heard a Harley and thought - "That sounds like a Spitfire," and not really the other way around.
I have never actually seen a Spitfire.
Here is a weird freaking story. 5 or 6 years ago some guy said he had located 20 Spitfires - STILL IN THE PACKING CRATES. They were located in Myanmar. The Brits simply buried them after the war. He got a license from the Myanmar government to retrieve them.
These were the very latest Mark with the Griffon engine, which yes, also snarls and crackles.
Well, he never did. Turns out there were water and electric lines laid over them or some other problem, and he never got them.
Yeah, they shipped them in big crates. These would be priceless on the market because they haven't been wrenched around in High G turns for 70 years.
frick.

Tom Hardy does do a great job in the movie. Of course his character is captured.
Here is a real RAF pilot shot down in 1940.
Shot down on May 23, 1940.

Squadron Leader Roger Joyce Bushell RAF (30 August 1910 – 29 March 1944) was an Auxiliary Air Force pilot who organised and led an escape from Stalag Luft III, a German prisoner of war camp. He was a victim of the Stalag Luft III murders. The escape was used as the basis for the film The Great Escape. The character played by Richard Attenborough, Roger Bartlett, is modelled on Roger Bushell.

Tuck was a high scoring ace shot down by ground fire.

Didn't he P-51 have an American made Merlin engine also?
As for Hardy,
I should've said most compelling not best. Buts if he says in it I'm seeing it. Hell I even made it through most of Locke...just him in a car with a Welsh accent.
